Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 4 EBP 0458 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Four Phases of Critical Appraisal
Captions available
The idea
Critical appraisal has four phases: rapid critical appraisal, evaluation, synthesis, and a recommendation.
In practice
Fifteen studies reduced to keepers, tabled, compared, and closed with a statement of best practice.
Where people slip
Appraisal is often taught as phase one alone. Stopping there leaves a pile of judged studies and no answer.
